To the editor: The Trump administration seems to have forgotten that the U.S. Treasury just isn’t a limitless cash pot to spend on something it pleases. It’s at finest unethical to make use of the burden of the federal authorities to help a political marketing campaign, and it could be unlawful too (“Call it propaganda or a PSA, Trump’s latest ad blitz is paid for by you,” Sept. 26). Would anybody within the Trump administration approve of a theoretical Newsom administration utilizing our tax cash on this method? I believe not — it could rightly be referred to as corrupt and problematic.
If this qualifies as an apolitical “public service announcement” simply because President Trump just isn’t on the poll, then I suppose no difficulty advocacy advertisements are political, both, despite the fact that we are able to at all times discern which get together they’re meant to help.
Mr. President, it’s a harmful recreation to play the American folks for fools (and to waste their cash), particularly when your majority is on the road in November. You can begin to make amends by pulling this advert off the air and doing one of many belongings you do finest — firing the one who got here up with this abysmal concept.
